Nah. I disagree. Sympathizing with villain does not mean legitimizing his belief.
We understand that he is a misguided person.
Doesnt mean we agree with him
Eh? How did wakanda accept and conduct bumiputera policy?
Also. i disagree. I have no problem with politics in movies
Politics is part of our lives
Why the need to remove it from the media we consume
If done well, movies can educate people about the nuance issues in our life.
Just like how movie been teaching us about love and friendship
It also can teach us about equality and fairness.
The parallel is exactly the same with Jurassic World
Protagonist's action at the end is presented as the "correct" thing to do
For JW, free animals no matter what
For BP, champion black affirmative action using his wakandan tech
You are right, IF done well movies can educate people about nuances in life. Usually this is done by showing what is both good and bad.
Goodfellas for example shows both the glamour of gangster life and the reality of murders, death, destroyed family etc
But Fast and Furiois only show the glamour, with almost zero consequences, happy ending for all, even normal family relationships
A movie which is focused on delivering one argument however will usually be one sided. And there are few blockbuster movies with the objective of providing fair treatment to both sides of an issue.
If thats the case, then I much rather that blockbuster movies avoid super sensitive and/or ongoing issues like BLM politics, and choose simpler topics.
But Hollywood nowadays are all pushing a certain agenda as a marketing technique. BP and WW in particular have proven that inferior movies can get above average reviews and sales by strongly marketing their political correctness themes.
